About
You might enjoy this if you like old-school disaster movies, upside-down-ship peril, and campy B-movie fun in the vein of Airport '77 or The Swarm; Not for you if you want tight writing, strong characters, or believable suspense.
Pros: campy guilty-pleasure appeal; familiar disaster setup; a few exciting moments | Cons: weak script; thin annoying characters; silly implausible plot
